This book is old
There is some usable information here but much of the code is not very well documented like the LCD software. Better off just
downloading examples and data sheets from avrfreaks.comMarginally useful for beginner.

Excellent for a beginner.
If you already know the Atmel AVR instruction set, skip this book...it is not for you. If you are new to microcontrollers and are thinking about getting into the wonderful Atmel AVR products, this is a great assembly level reference.
Sure...you could pick up datasheets and struggle with the cryptic explanations of the various commands. You could try to read multiple app notes on the Atmel web site. But for a good general overview of what this processor can do, along with well annotated examples, pick this book up.
As a total beginner, myself, this was my first foray into microcontrollers, and this particular book really helped my *comfort level*. "Comfort", it turns out, is an important part to coding one's first project. The examples on the CD are a little slim, but do have some useful sections of code.
Finally, if you have not done so already (I hope amazon lets me put in this address), check out www.avrfreaks.org AvrFreaks.org is the definitive site for questions, answers, examples from real users of the AVR controllers. Combine this book with the AVRFreaks web site and you'll feel like you can accomplish just about anything.
Best of luck.

Great book for beginers.
Not knowing much about Atmel's AVR series I bought this book as a guide for future projects. And i must say i was not disappointed. This book is an excellent complement to the AVR data sheets and provides some real innovative projects for newbies, who want to get their hand dirty with the AVR. A must buy!!!
